Early Social Media roping you in. You had to know "the count and the amount" in Dialing for Dollars.
I wondered when it had gone off the air, because I associated it with the 1970s, and it turns out it hung on for a long time, with some descendants even today. Our memories of the cut-ins will likely be different, because it was local programming with regional variations.

A local station in Albuquerque did this during the afternoon movie until sometime in the mid-80s. An Albuquerque radio station was still doing something similar (randomly call someone, they have to know the name of the station and the amount in the pot), into the early 90s.
Oh lord, won't you buy me a colored TV
Dialing for dollars is trying to find me
But in principle, wouldn't a black and whit work almost as well for this purpose?
